Edit your chosen opponents ability/stats (I used one of the unlicensed teams in D2), so they all read 1 abillity point except for Aggression, put this to 99 so tackles & potential fouls will be more opportune. I edited every player from GK to reserve CF, you may choose to edit the first 11 only but beware that the CPU will make substitutions, edit formations & so on. Choose exhibition, Player vs CPU. All free-kicks must be scored against the AI. A 2nd player, 2nd controller active, BAL, Online; none of this will count towards the achievement. I recommend setting the AI difficulty to Professional, any lower & successful tackles will be less frequent. Selecting a side I chose Real Madrid, select your edited opposition and let the match begin.

Now obtaining the FK will require patience but with your player Hold RT and softly dribble the ball outside the box, luring players towards you, inviting tackles & hopefully fouls. Be patient, it will vary from many FK's in a row to 1 a match, just stick with it as you only need to score 5. Once you're awarded a FK you should be -25m from the goal making scoring incredibly easy.

To score use Ronaldo, his accuracy, power is second to none. I didn't change the FK method, but on calling a 2nd player I found I'd score all the same. To score, allign the Shot towards the Keepers shoulder nearest the goal post. Once you've done this Hold LT and UP on the D-Pad and just press X so the power bar will not exceed the first blue quadrant. This should see the ball rifle into the back of the net and you have scored yourself a free kick. For the goal to count you need to finish the match, whether it's in 90mins or ET. I would also suggest exiting to the Top Menu so the system data is saved and your hard work is not lost, then play another exhibition match and get this achievement.
